Advanced Rider Course
« on: February 26, 2012, 12:26:26 PM »
Mark ("Sparks") will be looking into setting up this event, likely a Saturday at Century College.  Please post your interest here and Mark will keep you informed as things develop.  The class would be for 10-12 people I believe.  I highly recommend it for any all.

Yes, I highly encourage those who have not taken this course to do so. 

We appreciate the effort Mark puts into organizing this group.  Also, we appreciate the instructors from the MN Motorcycle safety group who instruct us all.  They are very knowledgeable people.

I think I'd like to see how I do with my top heavy armored tank Road Star.  I'm in if the schedule permits.

Looking to see how many people are interested in a motorcycle safety course. Basic Rider Course 2(name change from Experienced Rider Course) see link. https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/ots/mmsc/rider-training/Pages/brc-refresher.aspx Group size of 12 to 13, cost... It's $300 for the group and last year it was $25 per person, regular price is $55. This is a great course!  Please post if you are interested!!

Location:  Century College in White Bear Lake

Dates still available: Saturday 5/12 2-7pm Saturday 6/23 8am to 1pm or 2-7pm Saturday 6/30 2-7pm Saturday 7/21 8am -1pm or 2-7pm Saturday 8/4 8am to 1pm or 2-7pm
They also have Sunday classes, but it appears people are more interested in a Saturday event.

Thanks, Mark (Sparks), for putting this together.  At that price, one can't go wrong.  I hope the class fills up fast.  Very good course to take.

Thanks for the RSVP to Sparks, Alan.  I'm still stumbling around the forum (now that I'm in!!) and I appreciate you watching my virtual back!
